Using 'the internet' is a clueless analogy though. The net wasn't used for porn, let alone illegal porn, in the beginning. In fact it was not used for anything criminal in the beginning, and has never at any time been primarily used for illegal things. Same goes for the web.

the author messed up the quote, he included the term "illicit" in rephrasing it. that kind of sends it off in another direction,
but there was certainly a lot of unfounded skepticism and mistrust of the internet, not unlike now with btc.
and just like the internet, btc wasn't invented for use to support illegal shit/illicit shit/etc. but it did support a lot of porn in the early days.
